Everything, I think, about acting is based on imagination.
I think I've had a fairly meandering career. Because I did start so young, I think that I've always chosen my parts based on what's interesting to me and what I think would be challenging or fun, or someone I've always wanted to work with or a place I've always wanted to work in or a topic.
I want a Mini-Cooper because it's fuel efficient, emissions efficient and all that stuff. It's small and better for the environment. I think that will be my next car.
I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified.
Well, I think most people understand that there's a big difference between who you are and who, you know, you play.
I think that I need to work on being comfortable at being normal, everyday-ish on camera. Unlike a lot of actors, I think that's the thing that I'm not so comfortable with.
I think I'm better at playing difficult than I am at being normal. And to me that's something I'm working on now. I'm not really that difficult or complex a person, so it's interesting to me that it's just so much harder for me to play an everygirl.
I’m not going to let my insecurities keep me from having a good time. I think that if you don’t loose your self-consciousness, you can’t really be present in a situation. For example, if you’re at The Louvre, but you’re thinking about how much you hate your jeans, you’re not really at The Louvre. So in your memory, when you look back, you’re always going to be like, “I was wearing those jeans I hated”. And you’re not going to remember anything else.
I always think that I've embarrassed myself.
I think the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.
I think that the best career that someone can have is one that's reflective of their personal tastes.
I think it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it.
I think I've always been interested in playing people who are judged very harshly.
I don't think I'm an outsider at all.
